Oil painting on canvas. Signature and date lower left. The work belongs to the very first production of Dadamaino, the Milanese artist considered a primary figure of avant-garde painting. In 1958 the artist, as she herself indicated in her biography published in the Catalog of the 6 Lombard painters, participated in the XII Michetti Prize in Francavilla al Mare, and in a collective exhibition in August in Albisola Marina at the Artists' Club in the town hall, club founded with the intention of allowing young emerging artists to express themselves and compare themselves (in the first edition of 1957 this exhibition brought together important names such as Fontana, Sassu, Reggiani; at the subsequent ones in '58 Osvaldo Pivetta, Mazzon, Walter Cuneo, Lam...)..). Participation in this event highlights Dadamaino's adherence to the artistic climate of the Ligurian town, an art center already very lively on an international level. Dadamaino's participation in the Albisola Club in 1958 is documented with works absolutely similar to the one presented here: they are still characterized by an informal naturalistic type of painting, with an abundance of color and pictorial pastes. Miklas Varga, professor of Art History at the Brera Academy, as well as an intellectual, poet and writer, wrote in the same year that Dadamaino "presents in his works of a very new trend a balance of expertly constructed volumes where the space-light relationships achieve their own autonomy , creating elements that can be converted into new visual sensations and finally a very modern dynamic". The work has slight color losses. It is presented in a frame.
